Health officials
have found alarming high levels of mercury (more than 10 times the
advised) in whale meat served in school lunches in rural Japan.
Hisato Ryono, an assemblyman in Taiji, shared his concern and said
that although whaling will not be stopped, at least they want to
test whale meat before it is shipped to schools nationwide.

Whaling, in this
case, is not only bringing misery to whales, but also to innocent
children who have been exposed to high levels of mercury. Causing
suffering to God’s animals and not taking care of our health is not
honoring God’s Creation.
